Supplemental brief of petitioners - Main Document

Document Consumers' Research, et al., Petitioners v. Federal Communications Commission, et al., 23-456, Supplemental brief of petitioners, Main Document (U.S. Jul. 25, 2024)
On Petitions for Writs of Certiorari to the United States Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Eleventh Circuits
Petitioners previously asked for rehearing of this Court’s June 10, 2024, order denying their petitions for a writ of certiorari in these two cases, arising out of the Sixth and Eleventh Circuits, respectively.
The primary basis for rehearing was that Respondents had argued this Court should deny those petitions because it could still review a forthcoming decision from the en banc Fifth Circuit—which was likewise considering a nondelegation and private nondelegation challenge to the Federal Communications Commission’s Universal Service Fund (“USF”)—yet Respondents then told the en banc Fifth Circuit that it could not reach the merits after all because this Court’s denials meant Petitioners’ challenges were precluded.
The size of that tax is de facto determined by a trade group staffed by industry insiders with no semblance of accountability to the public.
This combination of delegations, subdelegations, and obfuscations of the USF Tax mechanism offends Article I, § 1 of the Constitution.” Id. at *31.

Petition for Rehearing filed - Main Document

Document Consumers' Research, et al., Petitioners v. Federal Communications Commission, et al., 23-456, Petition for Rehearing filed, Main Document (U.S. Jun. 18, 2024)
Challengers initially lost at the Fifth Circuit, see 63 F.4th 441, but that court then granted a petition for rehearing en banc and heard oral argument in September 2023.
BIO17– 18 (“[T]he en banc Fifth Circuit has not yet issued its 1 A similar petition for rehearing is simultaneously being filed in No. 23-743. decision in that case.
Petitioners dispute that their claims will be precluded in the Fifth Circuit, including because they will soon file a new petition featuring new parties in that Court, which can be consolidated with the pending en banc case.
Rehearing is warranted for the independent reason that this Court just granted review in a case that raises questions about whether the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC)—the target of Petitioners’ private nondelegation claim—is an “agent” of the United States for False Claims Act purposes.
The grant of a case raising related issues is again a textbook example of “intervening circumstances of a substantial … effect.” Rule 44.2; see Supreme Court Practice § 15-19 (11th ed. 2019).
